-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)The ISA (International Society of Automation) 84 standard (“Application of Safety Instrumented Systems for the Process Industries”) was first released in 1996. During the time of the development of ISA 84, the IEC ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)As the last line of defense for process and equipment integrity, relief, blowdown and flare systems need to be adequately designed and maintained. Systems need to be periodically re- assessed so that they operate safely ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 1998)Public concerns about chlorine and chlorinated chemicals were first aroused by Rachel Carson in 1962 with the publication of her book Silent Spring in which the uses of DDT and other chlorinated pesticides were attacked. ...

-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)We investigate the coupling of the flamelet combustion model with the collision distance algorithm for entertainment games. The collision algorithm is coded to calculate the porosity of the geometry based on the PDR (Porosity ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)The bow tie risk analysis method is growing in its application as it is a powerful tool for visually communicating major accident risks and the barriers deployed to prevent or mitigate these. The ease of communication can ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)The design and construction of a new building is often a significant investment for capital projects. As a result, there are typically many competing design considerations, such as: land use, interconnectivity, access for ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)In this article, we discuss kick occurrences during offshore operations in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and in the Norwegian sector of North Sea. The comparison between these two geographic areas is feasible because of ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)Existing methods for flame propagation and deflagration to detonation transition (DDT) prediction can be divided into three main categories: empirical models, phenomenological and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based. ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)This paper presents a comparison between the results from a test program carried out to characterize the blast load environment within BakerRisk’s Deflagration Load Generator (DLG) test rig, and predictions made using the ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)A Maritime Safety Zone is defined by the U.S. Coast Guard as a water area, shore area, or water and shore area combined to which, for safety or environmental purposes, access is limited to authorized persons, vehicles, or ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)Every major industrial accident such as Piper Alpha disaster, Exxon Valdez Oil Spill, BP Texas City Refinery led to the development of new regulations. After the BP Deepwater Horizon accident, several investigation committees ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)The fatal consequences of industrial incidents have made evident the need for suitable tools to develop inherently safer process designs. Traditionally, in a process design project, the evaluation of safety aspects is left ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2015)Facility siting studies are an important part of process safety, and are required for facilities that fall under OSHA’s PSM program. Facility siting is frequently interpreted as performing a building siting study which ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2017)Emergency management system (EMS) provides a crucial barrier for the protection of socio-ecological infrastructure from man-made disasters and natural threats. To meet diverse demands from hazardous events, resilience ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)Risk assessment and risk management are widely used in a variety of sectors and industries, particularly with the advent of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) in the last two decades or so. Because it covers most types of ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)The real world of operations is neither simple nor static. It’s dynamic and can be difficult to manage. Deviations from management system or procedural practice, changing equipment status, hazards introduced through ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2019)Blast resistant modules (BRMs) have become prevalent at petroleum refining and chemical processing facilities over the last decade. A primary rationale for utilizing a BRM is to allow a building housing essential personnel ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) is a risk reduction evaluation methodology well suited to consider hazard scenarios with multiple initiating events. The presence of multiple initiators increases the likelihood that a ...
